Cost

We accept all PPO insurance plans (e.g. Blue Cross, Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Healthnet, etc.) Patients with PPO insurance can see us without needing a referral or authorization.

PPO Insurance Approval Process - Requirements for insurance authorization vary by policy. Our first step is to call your insurance company to: 1) verify that weight loss surgery is a covered benefit, and 2) determine the specific requirements for insurance authorization. We then will help you to meet the necessary requirements.

Out of Pocket Costs - Insurance generally doesn’t cover all the costs associated with weight loss surgery. Out of pocket costs can include program fees, deductibles, and co-insurance. We will inform you of your out of pocket costs after we have checked your insurance benefits usually at the consultation.

Here at NewSkin Laser Center we strive to improve your health. If you are experiencing financial difficulties we will try our best to help you get the surgery that is best for you..

Financing – We offer competitive LAP-BAND® financing, Gastric Bypass financing, and Sleeve Gastrectomy financing through CareCredit and myMedicalLoan.com. These companies offer competitive rates, low monthly payments for up to 60 months, and no prepayment penalties. Flexible payment options help you to set a schedule that fits your budget.
